It probably won't happen but if only one team drafts Dillon in round 3, he won't be eligible in the free agent pool.

[Eephus 24,618]

Bigsteelthrill picks Daniel Suarez via PM.   He's all in on Toyotas.

Critical year for Hendrick coming off a poor season (for them) with a pair of new shoes.

damn you.
was only 2 more picks after your eephus selection to land Hamlin.
Still accomplished turning team JGR into team BST.  

[belljr 11,002]

Oof.   I'll take the driver that is related to another former driver .   

Give me a minute my sheet went all to hell this round

Why is round three the same order as round two?

Shouldn't it snake back the other direction?

It's not the same

It's a random drawn order

Since the draft is only three rounds, there would be complaints if we did 3rd round reversal or straight snake.  I figured re-randomizing draft order was the fairest way to go.

Zero complaints eeph. Zero. Its small and will be fun enough that gritty details just aren't needed.

ty for running it

[DaVinci 2,014]

I’ll take one of the Austin Dillons.

@QuizGuy66 is up.

[QuizGuy66 2,194]

Brutal choices left at this point.  And screwed with 2 Fords to boot.  Welp guess I just gotta hope that NASCAR puts the thumb on the scale for the blue oval.  Rolling the dice: Almirola

[Eephus 24,618]

I'm traveling starting this afternoon so I don't know when I'll be able to set up the Fantrax league.  It'll definitely be done before whatever they're calling the Clash these days.

If you haven't done so, PM me your email address for Fantrax invitation and send $12.95 via PayPal(gift) or Venmo to cpzeck at yahoo dot com.

[Eephus 24,618]

League is up.  Invitations sent.  Everybody needs to select a free agent driver before Daytona pole qualifying on Sunday.  It's set up as a $1100 salary cap league with all drafted drivers assigned a $300 salary.  This leaves $200 for your free agent slot.

I still need email addresses from @belljr & @comfortably numb

Thanks to people who've paid

Since NASCAR doesn't follow a set schedule for qualifying, I've set a noon Friday deadline to add/drop your free agent slot.  If we'd rather move the deadline to race day, we can do that but should probably eliminate the 2 point pole bonus.

Hopefully Fantrax is smart enough to not give pole bonuses if the grid is set by points due to a washout.  If they can't handle this, I'll change the rule to get rid of the bonus mid-season.

Because it's head to head scoring and I don't want W/L results to change after the fact, we're not counting NASCAR post-race penalties in the scoring.  Again, we can change this if the majority wants to use official points including penalties.

Can someone tell me where to send money.

I read through the thread and still am missing it somehow

Can you resend the Fantrax invite.  I never received the email.  Or just post the league info since I have a Fantrax account.

I'm totally confused

I think there is an issue.

It thinks I'm Quizguy

Edited February 6, 2018 by belljr

[cheeseypoof 1,741]

I’m in.  My info is correct.

[Eephus 24,618]

Please try joining again.  I hadn't entered the email addresses received since I set up the league yesterday so Fantrax assigned teams on its own.

I had to remove and re-add Quizguy's team so he'll have to add all four of his drivers.  I'll check tonight to make sure nothing else got screwed up.
